Pros

There is an employee discount of 5% national brands and 10% company-owned brands. The hours are pretty flexible and they respect when you need time off

Cons

Cleaning up after employees is the worst. Everyone leaves a mess and thinks "oh a courtesy clerk will pick that up" and management will make you. The pay is absurd. They pay BELOW minimum wage because they offer benefits. But, to be eligible for the benefits, you have to work over 20 hours a week. Customers are so rude, especially old people. When a manager or checker doesn't want to deal with them, they will send them to you, and you'll get yelled at for something that isn't your fault

Pros

Albertsons offered a really nice scholarship, which is why it’s a nice opportunity for college bound high school students. The union also offered a scholarship for Albertsons employees which was a nice bonus. Since I was in high school, they made the hours flexible to my schedule and I learned a lot of great work ethic! Also, many of the customers mentored me about college opportunities and scholarships which I applied for while employed. These scholarships transitioned me from a courtesy clerk in 2013 to a well respected engineer at a top 10 public university 2 years later.

Cons

The stores are primarily ran by the store director which caused many problems. Often times the store director treated courtesy clerks poorly and showed favoritism to associates that have been at the company for many years. Also, the front end managers would use profanity at me which is a clear union violation. Whenever corporate came to visit the store and gave negative feedback, the anger would trickle down to the people at the bottom instead of having a team discussion about improving the store. Also, I was employed during the merger with Safeway and the transition was a mess, with no clear sign of who our leadership was.
